Have you ever seen a character role and immediately thought a certain actor would be great for it? Most often this scenario leads to actors being type casted and playing similar roles throughout their careers. That is until you see actors in a role so shockingly opposite their usual gigs. It is sometimes jarring seeing the quintessential “good guy” love interest play a devious villain. The trailer for Zoë Kravitz’s (“The Batman”) directorial debut “Blink Twice” stars Channing Tatum (“Magic Mike”) as the villain. News of Kravitz’s directing first broke nearly three years ago and the film was going by…

The Bay Area is considered a cultural epicenter of Northern California. It consists of several major cities, including San Francisco and Oakland. For decades, the two cities have had this “Battle of the Bay” competition, usually regarding football and baseball games. With Oakland soon to no longer have any major sports teams, many residents assumed the battle would be over. Yet, the battle has moved to a new legal front over Oakland’s decision to change the name of it’s international airport. San Francisco City Attorney David Chu has filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against the City of Oakland. This…

Transformers and G.I. Joe have been staple franchises for decades. Both have been successful enough to warrant popular animated series, and their blockbuster film franchises. Not to mention all the toys and comics. Since the release of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” there have been speculations on what is next for both.

Filmmaker Nia DaCosta has had quite the career. 2021’s “Candyman” and last year’s “The Marvels” are just two of the projects she’s directed. “Candyman” proved that DaCosta has some experience in the horror genre, something that will come in handy in a potential project.
